Solid-color Newspaper Bag

DBG-025 Solid-color Newspaper Bag

100% Cotton

We have taken a vintage newspaper bag from the 1940s or 1950s as a starting point and evolved it to be easier to use.

We've also added colours to match the modern fashion scene.

As the name suggests, a newspaper bag is a bag made to carry newspapers in. For this reason, it is quite long and has the name of the newspaper being delivered printed on the body.

The material is basically a sturdy cotton canvas and there is no lid, or even if there is one, it is a simple lid that you just put on.

They also come with wide belts to withstand the weight, but most of these belts cannot be adjusted to fit your size.

So we looked for a shape that would be easy to use while still taking advantage of the good points of vintage.

In addition, the bag is made of cinnamon brown dyed cotton canvas, which makes it easy to match with American casual fashion and makes stains less noticeable.

First of all, regarding size, vintage newspaper bags are about 60cm long to hold newspapers. This length makes them too big to be used as a bag, and if a slim person were to carry them on their shoulder, they would cling to their body.

Therefore, we made it 45cm wide so that A4 documents can fit inside easily.

Also, since it would be inconvenient and unsafe to have one without a lid, we added a lid and equipped the corners with metal twist locks. It's a simple mechanism, but it gives off a sense of simplicity and sturdiness.

The wide belt remains the same, but now comes with a size adjuster so you can adjust the size.

This size adjuster is called Koki in Japanese, and the metal Koki we used here is the widest one you can find in Japan.

In addition, urethane is inserted into the inside of the belt in the middle to reduce the burden on the shoulders.

The material is the standard cotton canvas, and we intentionally left it plain without any prints.

You can draw illustrations, add your favorite words, add badges or chenille...we've made it so that you can have fun with it in various ways.

A modern newspaper bag, it's a versatile bag that can be worn for any occasion.
